Making the North Texas Secular Conference Welcoming to Everyone

Everyone involved with the North Texas Secular Convention is committed to making our conference a welcoming place for all people, regardless of race, color, national origin, age, creed, worldview, disability, veteran status, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression. We want to make sure that all attendees feel safe throughout the event. We will take any reports of harassment or other inappropriate activity seriously.

We consider harassment to be continued unwanted behavior directed toward another person. We hope it is obvious that you should not disparage your fellow conference goers on the basis of race, color, national origin, age, creed, worldview, disability, veteran status, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression. We further hope it is obvious that you should not make uninvited sexual comments toward anyone. If someone asks you to leave them alone or to otherwise stop a behavior that is directed toward them, comply with that person's wishes immediately.

If you are being harassed, please contact a convention organizer or volunteer. If you notice someone else is being harassed, or just seems uncomfortable, feel free to bring it to the attention of an organizer or volunteer. If you are worried about your physical safety, exit the situation as soon as possible and call 911. Please let the convention organizers know what happened once you are safe.

All incidents of violence, physical intimidation, and unwanted intentional physical contact will result in immediate expulsion from the North Texas Secular Convention. People who harass others or cause multiple complaints of disrespectful behavior may be required to leave. Convention organizers are happy to help participants contact local law enforcement, and otherwise assist those experiencing harassment to feel safe at our conference.

Convention organizers or volunteers can be found at the registration table during the hours of scheduled events for the conference.

In addition to communicating with convention organizers and volunteers, please look out for each other. Don't leave people alone with others who are clearly bothering them. Make sure you are setting a good example. Let’s make the North Texas Secular Convention fun for everyone!
